"Content is important because it makes you a source of entertainment and learning for your audience. This value turns your audience into advocates for your brand. I once ran a campaign for products that were supposed to help messy consumers get organized. Using data about our target audience, I realized most of my audience were in their middle stages of life, had big homes, and loved shopping and accumulating tons of stuff. But they were bad at staying organized. They couldn't find things when they needed them, and often spent lots of time hunting for them or wasted money making duplicate purchases. I found countless opportunities to create humorous but useful, visually stimulating before and after posts. The posts got tons of likes, comments, and laughs from women on Facebook and Pinterest, who shared and recommended the ideas. They were a source of new ideas, too, because they'd ask for more suggestions and it made me understand how they ticked and conjure up new ways to present the products. Delivering on their requests kept the content success going. Impressions and engagement on the social media pages increased by double digits month over month for more than a whole year, and the product name is becoming synonymous with home organization."
